Barak Longmate
Barak Longmate (1738 – 23 July 1793) was an English genealogist and editor, heraldic engraver and publisher.
==Life and work==
Longmate was born in 1738, son of Barak and Elizabeth Longmate of St James's, Westminster in London. He engraved some topographical drawings, but was more distinguished as an heraldic engraver (a branch of bright cut engraving). He died on 23 July 1793 in Noel Street, Soho, and was buried on the 27th of that month in Marylebone churchyard. He had a son Barak by his wife Elizabeth (d. 1781). His small but valuable library, and a large collection of heraldic manuscripts were auction off at Sotheby's on 10 March 1794, realising just over £235 - considered not a great sum. The only known copy of the catalogue is preserved in the British Library.〔
Longmate published an edition (the fifth) of Collins 'Peerage,' (8 vols. 8vo, London, 1779), and a 'Supplement' in 1784.〔Longmate, Barak. ''(A supplement to the fifth edition of Collin's Peerage of England )'' (1784).〕 Of this work he left materials for a new edition. He also edited the 'Pocket Peerage of England, Scotland, and Ireland,' (12mo, London, 1788, new edition, 1790). For Sir Richard Sullivan's 'Thoughts on the Early Ages of the Irish Nation and History,' (4to, 1789), he engraved an elaborate genealogical plate, entitled ' A Genealogical History of the Family of O'Sullivan More from Duach Donn, monarch of Ireland. Anno Mundi 912.' which he regarded as his masterpiece (Martin, Cat. of Privately Printed books,' p. 105).〔
William Sharp (1749-1824) and John Swaine (1775–1860) were both pupils of Longmate.
